UNISON National Executive Council elections

Vote for a fighting, democratic NEC

THE ELECTIONS for UNISON's National Executive Council give members the opportunity to elect leaders who will fight for ordinary members, putting their interests first, defending jobs, pay and conditions of service, including pensions.

The following Socialist Party members have a proven track record of representing and campaigning for UNISON members at branch, regional and national levels.

They want to end the succession of poor deals with the employers, such as the Single Status Agreement in local government, or Agenda for Change in the NHS, which leave thousands of UNISON members worse off.

Above all they oppose the waste of millions of pounds of UNISON members' money on the Labour Party, and call for a ballot of all members to see if they support continued Labour Party affiliation.
